Sotto: Drilon has to face music on why Senate hoarded P3M in toilet paper

Senate Minority Leader
Franklin Drilon has dodged media questions concerning the Commission on Audit
(COA) report on the Senate incurring an estimated P3 million worth of
overstocked or obsolete items during his incumbency as upper chamber chief.

Senate reporters have
dodged Senator Drilon on his reaction on the said COA report which showed the
upper chamber incurring excess stocks on toner cartridges, air freshner, AA
batteries, paper fasteners, carbon paper and even toilet papers.

Senator Drilon, however,
refused to give ant comment and was even irked why the media has picked on him
to answer for the Senate’s purchases.

But Majority Leader
Vicente Sotto III said that Drilon would have to eventually face the music on
the excess office supplies of the Senate uncovered by the COA.

“It’s best that it’s
investigated and let’s find out who did the procurement and why. It’s the best
thing to do now to find out kung talagang nag overstocked,” Sotto said.
